One thing . . . after another thing . . . followed by another thing . . . with another thing right after that.

I'll be running around. Away for most of the day.

When I looked at my schedule last night, I sighed a big sigh and lamented my busyness.

But, then, it occured to me. . .

I'm in charge of my own schedule! I put this day together myself!

And I did a little reflecting.

OR . . .

I can choose to reframe the whole thing. After all, my schedule today is full of things I rather enjoy doing or being part of. It's not like I've schedule unpleasant tasks or meetings with people I don't like.

Despite being a dog-lover, I avoid reading books about dogs (I am, indeed, one of those readers who anxiously wonders: “Does som...

What would you like for your birthday, Grandma? Oh, nothing, she would say. Or, I’ll love anything you give me. A lie. Since childhood she’d only ever wanted one thing: a box filled with a substance she couldn’t imagine that would change...

Solid and well-crafted. Good plot that moves right along. I enjoy mysteries-with-more (the more being strong, well-developed characters) – and this series really fills the bill. I find Vera to be an engaging and refreshing crime-solver, ...
